This exquisitely pensive collaboration deserves to reach a wider audience than that which is generally reserved for contemplative electronica. Christian Fennesz, the Austrian post-glitch overlord, and the Oscar-winning Japanese film soundtrack composer establish a rare and quietly intense rapport, the former contributing ether crackle on guitar and laptop, the latter conjuring up a bit of old-fashioned piano magic. The ghost of Erik Satie looks on benignly throughout from behind a muslin curtain, stepping out to take a bow on the fifth track, 'Kuni'.
